What Caused My Extreme Heart Burn?

I am a 52yr. old woman. 5' 1", 150, history of mini-strokes and high blood pressure. Last night I had extreme heart burn in my stomach, chest and back. Lasted all night. Husband gave me Nexium in morning. Helped. Now I am completly wiped out and blood pressure 136/101, heart rate 91. Just don't feel right. Should I be concerned?
